CFBundleVersion of another app on the device

I can get the version of my app by doing this:

[[[NSBundle mainBundle] infoDictionary] objectForKey:@"CFBundleVersion"]

But how do I get the version of another app on the device? I want to know if an app is up to date for valid document sharing.

You cannot get the version of another app. If you can control the other app add a new url scheme to the new version of the app.

This is not possible. An app has no access to the details about another installed app.

However, if you are writing both apps then there is a trick but it requires that the apps have been run at least once after any update. Your two apps can share a private named pasteboard. If the apps write their own current version to the private pasteboard, each app can read the value stored by the other app.
